Land developers come to town
They're knocking trees and houses down
With tractors ripping through the ground
So boring men in business suits
And lots of modern women, too
Can ruin the world in comfort

Office building
Walls and a ceiling
And a floor to put your desk on
Raping the land so someone can
Shuffle papers and push around a pencil
The world is going to hell in a dump truck

They're building one right down the street
Come back in a couple of weeks
And the fire trap's complete
Pave the world, the hell with squirrels
A dying world's not their concern
Just more computer terminals

Track Name: Yuppie

Yuppies are too healthy
They eat too much sushi
They make too much money
And waste it all on tootski
I hate yuppies, they're no good
Same old bullshit in a new suit
I hate yuppies, they're all bad
Sniveling little idiots
They make me mad

They have stock in BMW
They're buying all the condos
Late nights at the offices
Kiss up their bosses

Yuppies are all helpless
They're brain dead and useless
Their broker's E.F. Hutton
When they talk I don't listen

Track Name: Answer

Surround yourself with lots of friends
But you're all alone when you climb in bed

You can be like everyone else
I only answer to myself
It's bound to be so don't ask why
When you're born and when you die
Live to please somebody else

You gotta answer to yourself
I only answer to myself

Track Name: Pope on a Rope

You wanna pray
Well you know you gotta pay
'Cause the church can only hear the sound of change

Falwell is on TV again
He wants you to pay
For his new Mercedes Benz
Pope on a rope
Jesus beach towels
Chocolate crosses
Bible comics
Pope on a rope
Religion for sale
True salvation
Can not be bought

It's all a sell
Are you so dumb that you can't tell
Or are you just scared you'll go to hell
I'm not against religion of any kind
But money can't buy religious peace of mind

Licensed to fish, I'm licensed to kill
And I won't stop 'till my stringer's filled
Live bait, cranking, jigging or trolling
Don't matter to me as long as I'm goin'

Track Name: Pizza-N-Beer

I took my baby to the drive in movie
She did not want to the movie
She wanted to go get some

Pizza and beer
I took my baby to the discotheque
I tried break dancing
Nearly broke my neck
My baby would not have a dance with me
I said, baby why won't you dance with me
She said, I don't want to dance with you
You know the only thing I want to do
Is go get some

Pizza and beer

Track Name: Bugs

Armies march in darkness
Training to attack
For years of senseless crushing
They're gonna fight back
Coming out of the woodwork
Infesting every pore
They don't just want revenge
They want to rule the world

Bugs, bugs
They have a fearless leader
A strong and wise old roach
Ants collect his food supply
While he sits on his throne
Bloodshed will be welcome
To feed the leech patrol
They're much too quick to splatter
They scurry down their holes

For every can of pesticide
There'll be a human genocide
They're crawling to get you

To arms, to arms
We only have two arms
How can we fight them
When the Raid is gone
A hundred bugs to every human
The odds are so unfair
Crabs destroy your sex life
Lice are in your hair

Track Name: Youth Blimp

If you've never flown the blimp
Won't you step right on in
Two by two by two
Escape the human zoo
We'll all have our say
'Cause it's big and gray
Hurry up, don't delay
Or we might fly away
There never is a guest list
No fees or exemptions
No reason to be rejected
Everyone's accepted
And everyone's invited
So we can all fly united
In youth blimp we'll fly high
Attain peace in the sky

It doesn't matter who you are
We'll all do our part
Be you fat or thin
Straight, gay, punk or skin
Black, white, red or yellow
All females and fellows
If we fly the dirigible
We'll stand indivisible

Track Name: Commercial Cuts

...uh oh, sergio!

Track Name: Survive

He's the leader of his kingdom
Lord of his domain
He can't wait for doomsday

Waiting for you to cross his line
He'll blow you away

Survive, try to save all that's his
First it is moonshine, then his kids
He's forever training
It's his idea of fun
Waiting for the day
He can kill the commie scum

Waiting in anticipation
For the abolishment of this nation
Can't imagine the sensation
Standing over fresh kill masturbating

A lot of people think
His views are too extreme
Because his bunker walls are lined
With cans of pork and beans

Track Name: Crowd Control

Implications running rampant
Mayhem in the streets
They've blocked off all the boundaries
Armed themselves to the teeth

Back up reinforcements
Line the route at every turn
Riot gear close at hand
To defend the fatherland
Display of force, display of power
Show your civic pride
Your shirt is pressed
Your shoes are shined
For the square mile ride

The troops proceed
The band plays on
The children march in step
Floats, clowns, balloons and bubble gum
This is the best parade yet

Track Name: Velvet Elvis

Checked into my hotel room
I paid a lot of money for this place
There's a picture of Elvis nailed to the wall
At least they could have vacuumed his fuzzy face

Velvet Elvis
I want to take him home with me
I will pay any price
Hang him up in my bedroom
Right next to my fuzzy Jesus Christ
Turn on my lava light and what do I see
A picture of Elvis on the wall
Staring out into the sea

Track Name: Fuck the Neighbors

Fuck the neighbors hate the kids
Fuck the neighbors hate the wife
Fuck the neighbors hate the guy
Fuck the neighbors wish they'd die
Their leaves always fall in my yard
They own about fifteen cars
Their dog always shits on my stairs
Their cooking always stinking up the air

They're a big unruly crowd
They blare Springsteen too loud
They're always staring at me
Their house should be condemne

Track Name: Bruce's Lament

In this infinite galaxy
We conceived to be Adrenalin O.D.
Was it late? No, it was destiny
The will of the gods made it to be
No escape from our demonic curse
The masters of your universe
The infinite karma is loose
We are Paul and Jack and Dave and Bruce

Track Name: The Nice Song

I'm feeling really fine on such a lovely day
I'm feeling really fine, feel like wasting my time
It's such a lovely day, got nothing to do
I'm lying in my bed on such a lovely day
I'm lying in my bed, don't want to see no friends
It's such a lovely day, got nothing to do

I'm lying in the tub on such a lovely day
I'm lying in the tub, give me a body scrub
It's such a lovely day, got nothing to do

I'm sitting on the steps on such a lovely day
I'm sitting on the steps smoking cigarettes
It's such a lovely day, got nothing to do

Track Name: Jefferson's Theme (Bonus Track)

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
